    morning all i have had very little sleep and have the worst stomach cramps ever? i feel this depo seems to cause this in the last month but its getting stronger, i need to sleep LOL!

    Bruno you havent had it easy recently i honestly dont know how you do it sometimes! you always seem so calm and in control whereas i think i would blow up!
    One of the things i learnt this week was how to put my points across better so tell her that you feel unhappy with the way she reacts whenever your mother is involved and it is only for one afternoon. Make sure she knows how pleased you will feel and how important this is to you. Or bribery LOL it always works :D
    What's for you won't go past you
  • Crikey, Bruno that's a tough situation to be in. I don't have any advice, I'm afraid but I have to agree with Aless. I hope you can find a solution that works for everyone with no lasting ill effects.

    My baby climbed up a step today! From he kitchen back up to the dining room. He was trying to get down it and as last time he attempted it he face-planed the kitchen floor I turned him around and shuffled him off backwards so he ended up stood on the floor leaning on the step. Of course then he didn't want to be in the kitchen so proceeded to climb back up lol

    I agree with Aless. Because I have been there acting like your OH. In the end I knew I was being unreasonable but had dug myself into that big of a hole that the stuborn !!!!! in me embraced it and demended that I was right and everyone else were being idiots. Mostly my DH then just DEMANDS that I attend and stop being a cow. It's about the only time he acts big and tough and I do as I'm told (since deep down I know I'm wrong but I wont ever admit it and that way he is the bad guy ha!).

    Weezl, I'm loving my white hair :p

    Caz, would a 10 and a 5yr old wear a tutu?

    Som, I'll take some pics later tonight ;)

    Morning, i skim read, feel free to shower me in sympathy because I'm dying but I can die coz I'm in sole charge of 2 very cute but needy boys - bah!

    I should probably call my mum to see if she can help but I'm :mad: at her! She fed Edgar all sorts if inappropriate things on friday despite me being very clear that he had a tummy upset! long story short there was vomit and little sleep all round, last night surprisingly MIL was well behaved but I was very freaked out by how weird I felt, upset that OH had a big strop over Ed screaming in the night and then woke at 2am ish to throw up _pale_ waaaaaah
    The very best is sometimes what nature gives us for free.

    (((dodgy hugs Sami))) It's no much fun eh?

    I would make your mum come over and help since she contributed to the general vomitting episodes. It's the least she can do.

    [STRIKE]Morning[/STRIKE] Afternoon all :D

    *hugs* to Bruno (I agree with Aless et al :o), Sami (GWS!) and the early risers (any chance of a nap?) xxx

    My turn to do the early shift today. Thankfully Rhys woke at 7am, came into our bed and dozed until 8.30am - OH didn't have it that easy yesterday! :o:p OH is now up and Rhys is pinching his breakfast :D

    Plan for today is yet more tidying/sorting, plus sort out the bombsite that is the kitchen and do some washing - exciting, hey! :cool: OH's friend is in town to they're taking Rhys and her two boys (OH's godsons) to the seafront for the afternoon :)

    Hope everyone has a good Sunday xx

    Is this the kind of thing he is looking for?

    and is this the one you were sprayed with?

    Yes that's what he's looking for and yes that's the one I was sprayed with. Thanks for finding them xx

    Hope you get things sorted out Bruno. It all sounds really complicated and I do hope your OH managed to get to the brunch today.

    Hope you are ok Sami xx

    Studying hard but having a major panic as it's just not sinking in :o

    Tia my girls are always dressing up and dancing around! remember we live in a village where cheerleading and twirling is the norm!

    Am searching for a bed for Erin, was hoping she would give up on climbing but she has now become a pro! we even shut her bedroom door to keep her contained but she found something to stand on opened the door and proudly walked into my room saying 'hiya' i then sat at the side of her bed and told her to shut her eyes and go to sleep, she scrunched her eyes shut and then just as quick opend them to see if i was looking. I burst out laughing so this then became a game, i tell you this girl is going to be hard work!
